BUCCANEERS SIGN THIRD-ROUND PICK JAMEL DEAN

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced today the team has signed cornerback Jamel Dean, one of team's two third-round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Dean (6-1, 206) was selected 94th overall, out of Auburn. Dean played in 26 games at Auburn, totaling 73 tackles (4.5 for loss), 17 passes defensed, two interceptions and one sack.
